THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Millicent Mimwag, round 
and fat. 

With a pretty plump face 
’neath a big sun hat, 

As the flowers in her garden 
were feeling hot, 

Was giving them drinks from 
a watering pot. 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Bulgy Bill chanced to be 
passing near, 

And when he saw Milly 
he said, “Oh, dear. 

That beautiful maid, ’tis plain 
to see. 

Would make a very nice wife 
for me.” 



2 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


He trotted up with face 
so rosy 

And gave Miss Milly a charm- 
ing posy, 

Saying, ” Milly, dear, no long- 
er tarry. 

For Bulgy Bill you must 
surely marry.” 



3 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Now Bulgy had a terrible 
foe, 

Whose name was Jealous 
Jungle Joe. 

His heart was filled with 
bitter hate, 

For he also wished to be 
Milly’s mate. 



4 



HE CHALLENGED HIM TO MORTAL FIGHT.

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


He followed Bulgy home one 
night 

And tried to get him in a 
fight. 

He hit him hard upon his 
head 

And bit his nose until it 
bled. 



THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


They fought all day, they 
fought all night. 

And many came to watch 
the fight, 

And told them both to make 
their peace 

And let their foolish battle 
cease. 



6 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


So next day these two silly 
things 

Stopped their fight, and, arms 
in slings. 

They begged Miss Milly 
please to state 

Which of the two should be 
her mate. 



7 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Millicent, with a coachman 
tall, 

Was going in her carriage to 
pay a call. 

She blushed a most delightful 
pink, 

Closed her eyes and tried to 
think.

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


“Listen,” cried she, “*tis plain 
your duty 

To go and find the apple of 
beauty. 

He who succeeds need ask no 
more. 

For he shall win my sweet 
pink paw.” 



9 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Jungle Joe wore a big thick 
coat, 

And went o’er the sea in a 
sailing boat. 

Where he was going he had 
no notion, 

But he simply longed to cross 
the ocean. 



10 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


As he leaned o’er the boat and 
gazed into the sea. 

He yelled “There’s the apple! 

How lucky for me!” 

What he saw was a sunfish, 
so golden and round, 

And in trying to grab it, he 
slipped and was drowned. 



11 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


A mermaiden found him, and 
said “You poor man, 

I’ll make you as comfy as ever 
I can;” 

Then buried him deep in the 
soft ocean bed. 

With a nice crown of coral 
placed over his head. 



12 



A MERMAIDEN FOUND HIM.

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Bulgy Bill thought he would 
travel by land, 

He didn’t like sea, and he 
didn’t like sand; 

He walked on and on, with his 
poor aching feet. 

Thirsty, and longing for some- 
thing to eat. 



13 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Then suddenly Bulgy, with the 
greatest of glee, 

Saw standing before him a fine 
jam-pot tree. 

The jam-pots were frightened, 
and one of them cried, 

“Go away, go away, or from 
you, I will hide.”

SAW STANDING BEFORE HIM A FINE JAM-POT 
TREE. {see page 14) 



THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


But Bulgy was hungry, and 
feeling the heat, 

He made no reply, but just 
tickled their feet. 

He tickled them so, that they 
went into fits. 

And one laughed itself silly, 
and broke into bits! 



15 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Some soldiers were near, and 
hearing their cries, 

Took hold of Bulgy, who 
gasped with surprise. 

They tied up his nose, and his 
poor little paws. 

And put him in prison for 
breaking their laws. 



16 



THEY PUT HIM IN PRISON FOR BREAKING THEIR 
LAWS. {see page i6)

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


"He has stolen our jam,” a big 
soldier said, 

And Bulgy felt sorry and then 
hung his head. 

They gave him sharp digs with 
the points of their spears. 

And hurt him so much that he 
shed a few tears. 



17 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Away they all dragged him, 
through street after street, 
Where the stones were so rough 
that they hurt his poor feet. 
He cried and he howled, till his 
tears were all shed. 

And he wished himself home 
in his warm little bed. 



18 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Then Bulgy was taken away 
for his trial. 

The judge and the jury would 
take no denial. 

They swore he had certainly 
stolen the jam. 

And had eaten as much as he 
really could cram. 



19 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


The judge and the jurymen 
sat down to think, 

Before they started to write 
down in ink 

What ought to be done with a 
fellow so bad. 

Who had gobbled the jam as 
Bulgy Bill had.

AS THEY CONSIDERED, 
THEIR LOOKS. 


MORE GRIM GREW 

{see page 21) 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


They looked up the case in 
their old lawyer books, 

And as they considered more 
grim grew their looks; 

Then all shut their eyes and 
gave a deep sigh, 

And told our dear Bulgy he 
surely must die. 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


The sobs of poor Bulgy soon 
rent the still air, 

And he begged on hisi k. 
that his life they would spare. 

But nothing he did, nor nothing 
he said, 

Could change the jury — their 
hearts were of lead. 



22 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 

The headsman so tall, with a 
big cruel hatchet, 

In an awful black mask, and a 
coat just to match it. 

Said to him, “Bulgy, you soon 
will be dead, 

I am just going to chop off 
your little young head.” 



23 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Then poor Bulgy trembled and 
quivered with fear, 

And down each fat cheek rolled 
a bright shining tear. 

He turned his eyes upwards, 
quite ready for death. 

And murmured sweet Milly’s 
name under his breath. 



24

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


But just as he sobbed his last 
feeble cry, 

Expecting most any minute 
to die, 

A witch came a-riding straight 
down through the sky, 

And seized hold of Bulgy to 
make a nice pie. 



25 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


She rode off with Bulgy behind 
on her steed, 

Smacking her lips with most 
horrible greed, 

Far over the tree tops for mile 
after mile. 

Till even the sun could not 
keep back a smile. 



26 





SHE RODE OFF WITH BULGY BEHIND ON HER 
STEED. page 26) 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


So the headsman went home 
without earning his pay, 

For the witch had quite spoiled 
all his fun for the day. 

The creatures all round stood 
with eyes full of fear, 
Thinking it all was decidedly 
queer. 



.27 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


The witch after riding for hours 
on the broom, 

At last arrived safe in her own 
little room. 

She made a good fire and took 
a large pot. 

And filled it with water to get 
nice and hot. 



28 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


While the water was boiling, 
the day being fine, 

The witch washed some clothes, 
which she hung on the line; 
And while hanging them out 
’neath the bright summer sky. 
She laughed as she thought of 
her Bulgy Bill Pie. 



29 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Now a Wonkey next door, who 
was hungry for meat, 

And felt he would like some- 
thing tasty to eat. 

Spied the witch, who looked 
tempting, though not very fat. 
And gobbled her up, starting 
off with her hat.

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Bulgy Bill cried so many tears 
of delight 

On seeing this truly remark- 
able sight. 

He thanked the big Wonkey, 
took hold of his paw 

And shook it until he could 
shake it no more. 



31 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Then into the garden he trotted 
full swing, 

And found there a rather pe- 
culiar thing. 

Two apples there grew on a 
marvelous tree. 

Guarded by these funny crea- 
tures you see. 



32 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


When Bulgy announced that 
the witch was now dead. 

Each creature for joy stood for 
hours on its head. 

Then Bulgy so happily picked 
the ripe fruit, 

And, watching his chance, ran 
away with his loot 



33 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Without peeling the apple he 
took a huge bite, 

He’d had nothing to eat since 
the previous night; 

And he looked, as he ate, in the 
pond at his feet. 

For he felt very dirty, but longed 
to be neat. 



34 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


And, lo! as he gazed on his 
reflection, 

He saw that his looks had 
gained perfection. 

And cried, “At last I have done 
my duty. 

This is indeed the apple of 
beauty.” 



35 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Then away up the garden path 
he pranced. 

He was so overjoyed he simply 
danced; 

And as he jumped and skipped 
along, 

He raised his voice in happy 
song. 



36 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


In the witch’s kitchen, behind 
the door, 

What do you think our Bulgy 
saw? 

Why! Sacks and sacks of 
precious gold. 

Each with as much as it could 
hold. 



37 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Cried Bulgy, “This is wonder- 
ful luck! 

First the apple I find and 
pluck, 

And now these sacks of dollars 
you see, 

Have made me as happy as I 
can be. 



38 



HE SET OFF HOME ON A HANDSOME STEED.

THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


In his cap he stuck a feather, 

And all the sacks he tied 
together. 

Then set off home on a hand- 
some steed. 

Feeling he’d done a wonderful 
deed. 



39 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Millicent, with an anxious 
face, 

Greeted him with fond em- 
brace, 

Saying, “ Bulgy, dear, I thought 
you dead; 

Would you could see the tears 
I shed.” 



40 



TacK 


SO BULGY AND MILLY WERE MARRIED 

NEXT DAY. (see page 42) 





THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


Then Bulgy showed his pre- 
cious prize, 

And Milly gazed with wonder- 
ing eyes, 

And cried, “ Oh, clever, darling 
Bill, 

Marry me soon as ever you 
will.” 



41 


THE ADVENTURES OF BULGY BILLY 


So Bulgy and Milly were mar- 
ried next day, 

And both looked most charm- 
ing, so all the folk say. 

Thus the tale ends with rejoic- 
ing and laughter. 

And they both very happily 
lived ever after.
